“Qu'ils mangent de la brioche.”: “Let them eat cake,”

Both the man and his missus, accompanied by a bevy of courtiers of the baddest yellow girls in town, descended on Kyadondo. They warned, especially the youths, to vote “wisely” lest they plunge the country into the “bad old days.”
These people are really out of touch. Which 25-year old can emotionally remember the “bad old days?” Does this hearken to the last days of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette before they were guillotined? “Qu'ils mangent de la brioche,” (Let them eat cake) so unfeelingly uttered Marie Antoinette as the French peasantry starved—thus was born the French Revolution.

Using fear as a weapon worked in the past in the region. Will it work this time around? We are at a serious crossroad, and the voters should think about the future of Uganda which is at peril. But will the voters take control, or will they be led like sheep to the slaughterhouse of more of the same NRM? Let us see what transpires.
